Fox has the doubleheader and CBS the single game this weekend.

Week #3 starts with Thursday Night Football on NFL Network. Joe Buck and Troy Aikman call the action. The two will then head to Seattle for Sunday’s Dallas-Seattle game. That in itself is a 2,500 mile hike. Of the regional games, the Cowboys-Seahawks game goes to the largest part of the country, 72%. Buck soon faces his busiest time of the year when the baseball post season kicks in.

Al Michaels gets a few weeks off this season. His first night off will be Sunday when New Orleans hosts Green Bay. Mr. Everywhere, Mike Tirico, sits in, working with Cris Collinsworth. Al will be back the following Sunday night for the Eagles-Niners game in San Francisco.

Dick Stockton who does not work a full schedule will be busy for the third straight week. He’s not far from home, where he’ll call Detroit at Arizona.

Jim Nantz and Tony Romo will be in a familiar spot, Foxboro, Mass where the Patriots host the Las Vegas Raiders. The regional game will be seen in 35% of America.

Tom Brady and the Bucs will be in Denver Sunday. The telecast goes to 21% of the nation. Fox Newcomer Adam Amin on play-by-play with Mark Schlereth. Look for Amin to do some more baseball for Fox.

Kenny Albert finally gets to work his first NFL game. He missed the first two because of an NFL requirement for a 14 day period to sequester after crossing the border. He was in Canada for NHL assignments. Albert has a new partner this season, Jonathan Vilma. They’re on the Chicago-Atlanta matchup.

If you’re wondering, according to Sports Media Watch

“Week two of the NFL season brought increased viewership to all-but-one of the league’s broadcast partners.

“Sunday’s NFL national window (Chiefs-Chargers in 73% of markets) averaged a 10.1 rating and 18.87 million viewers on CBS, marking the lowest Week 2 rating in the window since at least 2000 and smallest audience since 2007 (17.44M).”
